-
- Hotel California
-
- On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
- warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
- up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
- my head grew heavy and my sight grew dimmer
- I had to stop for the night
-
- There she stood in the doorway;
- I heard the mission bell
- and I was thinking to myself,
- 'this could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
- Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
- There were voices down the corridor,
- I thought I heard them say...
-
- Welcome to the Hotel California
- Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
- Plenty of room at the Hotel California
- Any time of year, you can find it here
-
- Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
- She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
- How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
- Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
-
- So I called up the Captain,
- 'Please bring me my wine'
- He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since ninteen sixty nine'
- And still those voices are calling from far away,
- Wake you up in the middles of the night
- Just to hear them say...
-
- Welcome to the Hotel California
- Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
- They livin' it up at the Hotel California
- What a nice suprise, bring you alibis
-
- Mirrors on the ceiling
- The pink champagne on ice
- And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
- And in the master's chambers,
- They gathered for the feast
- They stab it with their steely knives,
- But they just can't kill the beast
-
- Last thing I remember, I was
- Running for the door
- I had to find the passage back
- To the place I was before
- 'Relax', said the night man,
- We are programmed to receive,
- You can check out any time you like,
- but you can never leave'.
-
- With respect to this song. If I remember correctly it was written about
- a satanic church. (Of course, this could have been just a rumour). In any
- case IMHO this definately does not glorify evil or really show anything
- positive about the "Hotel California".
